Embrace

The original brief was set to design a modern take on the Isokon Penguin Donkey, that was within 10% of the originals dimensions. The outcome was “embrace” an award winning piece of furniture, designed to store modern media such as DVD's, CD’s, Books and Magazines.

This smart piece of furniture naturally forms two low modern tables that are then 'embraced' together in order to form a storage unit / magazine rack / occasional table. Whilst apart the small tables also function well as a laptop table, a bench and desk for kids or even as serving tray for breakfast in bed.

Embrace is proudly made in the UK, each unit is numbered, stamped and signed upon completion.
